Chapter 182 Will Not Let You Die 2
Ye Shaoyang grabbed a bottle of Qixing grass juice and passed it to Xiao Ma, “Spray it into your eyes and help me look for Xie Yuqing’s soul.”
Xiao Ma said nothing and immediately sprayed it into his eyes. The duo ran west. When there was no road, Ye Shaoyang used his wooden sword to beat out a path. As for the pain when he ran barefoot, Ye Shaoyang ignored it.
They ran for quite some time until they found a mountain ahead of them. The mountain was very steep and almost impossible to climb. Xiao Ma pointed at it and said, “What do we do? Go around it?”
“Let’s get to the foot of it first,” Ye Shaoyang said.
However, he thought, This mountain is too steep. There’s no way anyone could climb it. If we went around the mountain it would waste too much time and by then maybe Xie Yuqing will have...
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past them. Ye Shaoyang stood still and smelled something.
He exclaimed, “I smell Spirit Qi. I think it’s just in front!”
Immediately, Ye Shaoyang used Maoshan Qinggong and ran toward the source of the scent. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, something appeared on the left side of his vision. Two shadowy figures seemed to be walking among the trees.
Ye Shaoyang looked toward them and saw that they were two humanoid figures. There wa one in front with the other behind it. The one in front was very tall and had a black body. The one behind had a police uniform and a slim body.
It must be Xie Yuqing!
“That should be Officer Xie, right? Good thing we found her,” Xia Ma panted as he finally caught up.
Ye Shaoyang, however, was not that happy. If Xie Yuqing had been captured by some evil spirit, then Ye Shaoyang would not have a problem saving her. However, it seemed that the shadowy figure in front was a Spirit Commissioner. It was a great offense to hinder their work.
Ye Shaoyang pulled Xiao Ma close and told him, “I can’t attack the commissioner first, so I want you to go in front of it and mock it. Try to make it angry and attack you. By then I’ll have a reason to fight it. If we’re to save Xie Yuqing, it all will depend on if you’re able to get it to attack you.”
Xiao Ma was, of course, terrified; he frowned and asked, “Little Ye, are you sure about this? I mean a Spirit Commissioner is pretty powerful, right? What if he takes my soul too?”
Ye Shaoyang replied, “Don’t worry. It is still a Spirit Commissioner. If your time has not yet come, it will not do anything to you, but if it attacks you, then I’ll kill it!”
“Fine! I’ll do what I can!” Xiao Ma bit his lip in determination and walked towards the figure. Ye Shaoyang pulled him back at the last moment and asked him to wait as he prepared something. He picked two branches and tied it into a cross.
With some cinnabar ink, he drew three lines on one end of the stick that represented the eyes and mouth.
Ye Shaoyang looked up, saw that they were still quite close, so he quickly wrote a talisman paper with the name and date of birth of Xie Yuqing. He tied the talisman paper to the cross and told Xiao Ma, “If a fight does break out, listen to my commands. Then bite your tongue and use your blood, and chant to activate this ‘doll’. This will temporarily hold Xie Yuqing’s soul.”
Xiao Ma asked, “The blood from my tongue will work too?”
“The blood from anyone’s tongue will do; the important thing is the incantation. You’ve been working on the Hellfire incantation, right? Well, this is quite similar to that. You can handle it, right?”
Xiao Ma was shocked, “Well, I wasn’t successful every time, maybe three out of five times. What if I fail--”
“There’s no what if.” Ye Shaoyang stared at him and said, “There’s only one try. If you fail, Xie Yuqing is done for.”
“What do you mean?”
“Her soul will be broken, and not even a god could save her at that point.”
Cold sweat appeared on Xiao Ma’s forehead, he gulped and said, “This is too important. Why don’t you do it yourself?”
“Then, I’ll go get her soul, and you’ll fight?”
“Erm…” Xiao Ma had no choice, but he still felt the immense pressure on him.
Ye Shaoyang taught him the incantation, gave his shoulder a tap and ran toward the two figures.
As he got close he yelled, “Greetings great official, may you have all the wealth.”
Transporting souls was an important task tantamount to armed police trucks that transported money. No one could stop it from doing its task. If it were something really important, then the person interrupting had to say the special sentence in order to reveal that they were a sorcerer.
The tall black shadow stopped and turned around.
Ye Shaoyang looked at it. The Spirit Commissioner was really tall with very dark skin and a black cloak. Its ears were long and thin, and its forehead was wide. Below its forehead sat very round eyes.
Ye Shaoyang noticed that there were three stripes on the front of its cloak, which represented its rank. Three stripes meant that it was not some low-level commissioner.
A rope made out of straw hung from its waist and the other end was tied around Xie Yuqing’s hands. Since her three mortal lamps were blown out, she was unaware of what was going on like someone with amnesia.
Ye Shaoyang let out a sigh and said, “I’m a Maoshan Heavenly Master, Ye Shaoyang. Greetings, Commissioner.”
The Spirit Commissioner’s mouth did not move. However, a deep voice came from its belly, “There are no stops on the way to the underworld. Do you have some business?”
Normally, Spirit Commissioners would not open their mouths to speak so they could prevent the absorption of Yang Qi. Yang Qi was considered impure by Spirit Commissioners. If any entered them, they would need to excrete it out.
Ye Shaoyang pointed at Xie Yuqing and said, “This is my friend who has died of unknown causes. I’ve come to ask how she has died?”
The commissioner replied, “Why do you need to know?”
“Well, if her time has not yet come, then I would ask for you to do me a favor and let me bring her back.”
The commissioner let out a humph and said, “Well, I’m terribly sorry. This woman was killed in an accident, and her time has come. This is her faith, so pardon me.”
It turned and walked away.
“Wait!” Ye Shaoyang ran up, cut him off and threw a talisman paper at Xie Yuqing. Immediately, her three mortal lamps lit.
Xie Yuqing came to her senses. When she looked up and saw Ye Shaoyang, she yelled joyfully, “Come save me, little trickster!”
